| For any computer/electronic
equipment in Bangkok, there really is only
one place to go - Pantip Plaza. You name it,
they've got it - hardware, software, cameras,
electronics... |

Computer City - Pantip
Plaza Pattunam
Thanon Petchaburi, Bangkok. |

>> In other lands,
we have to go all over town, from shop to
shop, to find the equipment that matches our
needs and our budgets. In Pantip Plaza - The
Computer City, all you need is a minimum of
English, good shoes, a bit of time and for
those with sensitive ears, a good pair of
earplugs!
The four floors of this 'towering inferno'
maximise their space to 101% and contain an
incredible hive of activity devoted to computer
ware, sound systems, video and photography.
The deafening noise and the multicoloured
lights from each shop is aimed at drawing
in the customers to 'fix them up' with goods
that are still in their packaging and carefully
piled up in the garish shop windows. Who wants
a printer? Who wants a PC? A webcam?...
Let loose in the corridors ablaze with atmosphere
in this shopping centre, you will quickly
find the tone you need to adopt to find what
you're looking for and to bargain on what
is already a good price. If from one shop
to the next the prices are similar, you can
always ask for a discount. (/LA) |
